SIKA-DESIGN A PROUD TRADITION OF CRAFTMANSHIP Our history The story of Sika-Design begins in 1942, when Ankjær Andreasen produced the first batch of handmade baskets, lamps, flower tables and other smaller interior items made of rush and willow. In the 1950’s the production was extended to include a series of handmade furniture made from rattan, and the company Sika-Design was firmly established. Our passion for rattan and craftmanship dates back several decades and makes us Scandinavia’s oldest producer of rattan and wicker furniture. 3rd generation Sika-Design is a danish family company with 3rd generation, Louise Andreasen in charge. Ankjær Andreasen’s son, Knud Andreasen, took over the company in 1983, and Ankjær continued his daily inspections until his death in 1997. Louise and her father Knud have since 1996 worked side by side bringing Sika-Design into the new century with great designs, while never letting go of our strong heritage of great craftsmanship. In 2013 Louise Andreasen took over the company and became CEO of Sika-Design. Knud is still working in the company and is an important asset, as he is continuingly passing on the Sika-Design company culture and heritage to the next generations.
